Moyse: 24 Little Melodic Studies (Easy)

Hi everyone,

In this post I'm going to talk about the flute study book '24 Little Melodic Studies (Easy)' by Marcel Moyse.

This book is filled with flute studies that have been composed by Marcel Moyse to help take your flute development even further. But, don't let the word 'easy' fool you, as some of these studies are actually really hard. 

I would personally say up to exercises 9 - 10 are the easier part of the book, after that it starts to go slightly mad as the studies features more advanced key signatures, time signatures, double sharps/ flats. The back of the book isn't that bad, as it features some more of the easier time/ key signatures.

There's also a nice study at the back that are great if you just wanted to focus on getting your fingers more secure on the flute (exercise 24).

I've personally used studies 1 -3, the octave leaps from study 4, and to practice staccato I used Variations from study 5. So, if you are struggling with an area of playing you can always just take an element of a study and focus on that to see if will help you to improve on whatever it is you are struggling on.
